Medical Benefits

This page contains helpful information about reaching your Level 1 incentives and saving substantially on your health insurance benefits. The following notes were put together by AFUM Vice President Jim McClymer. We have added some handy links to his text.

Dear Colleagues,
I recently attempted to log into the Provant website to earn my level 1 Wellness
Incentive. The process was not as straightforward as it should have been. Below is
information I hope will make the process easier for you and a review of changes in
Level 1.

YOU WILL NEED to Sign UP for a NEW ACCOUNT even if you had an account in previous years.

In order to create a new account you will need to enter your id in a specific format:

If my first name is John, my UMS id is 1234567 and I was born on the 4th of July (0704) I would enter my ID as
JOHN12345670704.

Yes, your first name MUST be all capitalized!

If you click the question mark in the ID field it will download a pdf giving instructions. These instructions are good. They are also available here: Portal_registration_help

Once you have successfully registered your ID is NOW your email address (no longer JOHN12345670704) .

Your spouse/partner use the same ID number as you but their own name and birthdate.

I have already editorialized over the extremely poor implementation of simply logging into the Provant site. It appears that some improvements have already been made since Tuesday. This is a good thing. Once you are logged in WHAT DO YOU DO?

If you and spouse/partner covered by UMS then you both must complete Level 1.

When? Coaching sessions between December 1, 2015 and March 31,2016 will earn you Level 1. Obviously delaying until March may have issues. Preventive care visits that occur between April 1, 2015 and March 31,2016 will count for Level 1.

What is a preventive health visit? It is all in the coding. The list of preventive care is above and in the 2016_RiseUp_Wellness_Guide. In simple terms; if you did not pay a co-pay it was likely a preventive health visit.
